i liked the narration a lot of this book. the way it started from michael’s pov was really interesting and reminded me of the show criminal minds (it usually starts from the perpetrator’s pov). i really enjoyed the plot and i really liked john and learning his background and then finding out how everything comes together and is interconnected. i thought that was really well done, and there were definitely parts that shocked me in the book.

Triptych
4.5 Stars
Well-written and engrossing story with captivating characters. The descriptions of abuse, rape and murder are particularly graphic and gruesome, so be forewarned that this may be a difficult read if this type of writing bothers you.
The shifting narrative perspective makes it easy to identify with each of the characters from the veteran police detective with a troubled marriage and a disabled child to the GBI agent who suffered both mental and physical torture in his past and his childhood friend turned vice cop.
The plot is skillfully woven with numerous twists and turns that keep catching the reader unaware and the message highlighted within the mystery is that nothing is as it seems and appearances can be deceiving.
All in all, a fast-paced and intense thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat as you turn the pages.
